A Particular Situation

Once I had completed the

*Charity Postcard Collage Challenge

in October from

Contemporary Collage Magazine,

there was plenty of material left.

I created a set of collage inchies,

using just the remains of their collage material,

without adding any further media.

A Particular Situation

Each one is on a 1 inch square of kraft card.

I have a growing collection of

leftover collage material, which I will

keep for more collage projects next year.

* Part of the cost of participating in this challenge

is given to charity by CCM.

In my mind

Once I had completed my two collages

for this month's charity postcard challenge

from Contemporary Collage Magazine,

I decided to create another set of collage inchies,

again only using the remains of their collage material.

In my mind

Each one is on a 1 inch square of kraft card.

This colour combination is at the forefront of 

my mind at the moment,

so I am pleased that CCM decided to

donate part of the proceeds from this challenge

to UNICEF.

Entirely Recreated

Once I had completed my two collages for this month's

charity postcard challenge,

(which used only the materials supplied by

Contemporary Collage Magazine)

I decided to create another set of collage inchies,

again only using the remains of their collage material,

each one on a 1 inch square of kraft card.

I have quite a few scraps still left.

Just Saying

Once I had completed my two collages for this month's

charity postcard challenge,

which used only the materials supplied by

Contemporary Collage Magazine,

I had a few scraps leftover.

I decided to create a set of collage inchies,

again only using their collage material,
